I printed a lot of custom stuff that I designed for specific uses in Fusion 360 when I got my computer, and for about two years afterwards. But I don’t have any more custom stuff that needs to be printed, and I don’t have a D&D group any more, so my printer has been sitting for about six months. I’d say it’s a success though, since I made everything I need, and it’ll still be there if I ever need anything else.
This was the second half of my problem honestly, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to 3d model stuff. I’ve gone through tutorial after tutorial so clearly it’s me.
I actually have stuff I’d like to print but I’m not competent enough to model it. I’m the n00b just printing stuff I can download from the internet. Or was I suppose…
There’s a learning curve for sure. A lot of the tutorials on YouTube aren’t very helpful. Some are downright awful. This guy’s channel really helped it click for me. You can just start by following his lessons and at some point it’ll click and then you can start designing really basic stuff like drawer organizers, which are essentially just cubes, and then work your way up from there. It does take time though.
